Roger Federer Plans to Play on Clay in 2020

The seven-time Cincinnati champion, Roger Federer will be making his 17th appearance in Ohio for Western & Southern Open 2019. After displaying his histrionics in the Wimbledon final last month, the Swiss maestro has got on board for his next endeavors and possibly next year he might return to clay.

After his hefty loss in London, the World Number three, Roger Federer aims to flourish on the ATP Tour with a positive mindset and break a few more records in the tennis world.

This year, Federer returned to clay courts after missing the terre-battue season for three straight years and for the tennis season 2020, he decides to hit the European clay courts once again. “Started looking ahead to what is still to come, it’s even possible to play on clay next year,” Federer mentioned.

Till date, Roger Federer has won 11 clay court titles in his career. He stands 26th on the position in the all-time list of ATP for ‘most number of clay titles’ won and he is third amongst the active players (fourth while considering David Ferrer). Undeniably, he is also one of the gifted players on the clay.

He once shared about growing up playing tennis on clay and clay court tennis is on his priority list. Also, he is the only tennis player to win ten plus titles on all three surfaces of the sport.

While speaking to Sport SRF in Cincinnati, Federer spoke about the final match he played against the Serb, Novak Djokovic. He claims it to be one of the toughest losses of his career and the Swiss was resentful about losing a Wimbledon championship match after facing two match points.

“Wimbledon Final wasn‘t necessarily more difficult for me to digest than other tough losses, I knew I played a good season till then, I think my reaction was right to be angry for a while,” Roger Federer said.
